City Silence Initiative Comes to UC
The UC Center for Integrative Health and Wellness is coordinating weekly silent meditation sessions on UCs medical campus.
Led by Mehran Attari, MD, and Marzieh Salehi, MD, the sessions are part of the international City Silence movement, a network of community mindfulness gatherings encouraging barrier-free silent meditation in city and community spaces.
The sessions on UCs campus will begin Wednesday, June 10, and continue weekly on Wednesdays. Each session will run from 7:30 to 8 a.m. on the steps outside the CARE/Crawley Building. Participants can stay for a few minutes or the entire half hour. No prior experience is needed.
